Tips to protect your home with Crimsafe Home Security

This month is Neighbourhood Watch Month and crime prevention partners Crimsafe and Neighbourhood Watch Australasia are urging homeowners to do a little ‘home crimprovement’ to strengthen the safety and security of their homes and improve their Secure Score.

Here are some ways you can do some ‘Home Crimprovement’ at your place:

Move your wheelie bins to a secure location, not against the house
Lock your gates – both front and back with a solid padlock
Lock your garden shed and garage
Trim trees so crim’s have nowhere to hide
Install security screens to protect from unwanted intruders
Install cameras to deter criminals and monitor your home
Fixed sliding doors can reduce the risk of a break-in
Adding sensor lights can light up dark areas at night

If you’re looking for a checklist to help you do a little Home Crimprovement, you can download one here.

What is Secure Score?

Secure Score is a free, online home security audit tool designed to promote safer and more secure communities by empowering homeowners to make their homes more secure. A home’s Secure Score is determined by assessing the security measures from the street level, within the yard and inside the home. Each security feature, such as a spotlight, security camera or security screen, is assigned a value that makes up a home’s Secure Score – a score out of 100.
